Chicken Pox WWYD?

I agree you can't keep her in on the off- chance. The nursery should know though if there is a child there with a weakened immune system - I know mine make all other parents aware and there's a number they have to call if their DC gets chicken pox so we know to get DS to hospital for preventative meds. I don't know if all places will have that system in place for all immuno-compromised children.

DD (2) spent Boxing Day playing with her chicken pox covered cousin. So there is a reasonable chance she has caught it, although no spots yet. Any play dates at friends houses in the next 2-3 weeks I am either cancelling or pre-warning the parents.

But I am having a battle with my conscience re nursery and playgroup - should we be avoiding those as well until the potential incubation period is over (or she comes out in spots)?
